ACE: A Course on Editorials

This course is designed for photographers who would like to get their editorials published, whether that be in print or online.

Because I know what it feels like to believe in your work and in its potential, but also feel stumped with breaking into an industry that seems sealed tight. A part of me enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to get in touch with editors, but spending hours trying to get in touch with publications and not getting any responses felt too draining at the end of the day. I really wish that from the plethora of photographers whose work I love, one of them offered something like this. Hearing their honest perspective on how editorials work, would have made the biggest difference to me, and saved me so much time and mental energy. I created this course so that you can begin embarking on your own editorial journey. Here I unpack my industry knowledge so that all you need to worry about is the creative aspect.

I would like for anyone that is taking this course to be aware that editorial/published work in and of itself is NOT a lucrative part of the industry. Typically IF a publication has a photographer budget for editorials, it's a non-negotiable fixed amount set by the publication.

The photographer then decides how to spend this amount for all associated costs (equipment rental, film rolls, assistant, development, post production, etc.). These amounts are usually not the equivalent to what you would charge commercially OR for a full day of work. The power of editorials lies in the freedom to express yourself as creatively as possible and demonstrate your skills working with a team, without compromising your unique style. This is precisely what leads to paid work and what has gotten me most of my jobs.

This course is designed for photographers that already have an existing body of work in their portfolio and demonstrated knowledge of camera technicalities. All topics covered assume understanding of how to work a camera and shooting people. There will be no lessons covering technical photography skills. Previous fashion work is not necessary, but it is a huge plus.

As of 2026, there are 50 spots available per round.

This course isn’t a shortcut into the industry, and it’s not a guaranteed pipeline to publication.

Editorial has always been shaped by timing, relationships, and individual direction — and that’s something I speak about openly throughout the course.

What ACE offers instead is a clear framework for understanding how editorial work is built, how to position your work, and how to navigate the industry with more intention.

The goal isn’t just to get published — it’s to develop a way of working that allows you to create, refine, and circulate your own editorial projects over time.
